This heartwarming and heartbreaking novel explores the intersection of art and coming-of-age through the experience of two Tennessee teenagers.

People don't know what to make of it and the community--then the nation--goes wild with speculation. Wilson, however, stays focused on Frankie, the girl who thought up the mystifying phrase, showing how her art both upended and added meaning to her life.
